Technological novelties are not always well adopted by consumers. They decide whether to use a product or consign it to oblivion. The paper addresses adoption of two types of technological implants in turns of their intended use, i.e., either for or to facilitate the human's everyday life. To answer the question which factors predict adoption of implantable technologies, a research model is developed based on a technology acceptance model with a due consideration of security aspects. An online survey (n = 243) is conducted to test the model showing that implantable technologies are most affected by the ease of their use and perceived usefulness and less by the perceived data security and subjective norm. Surveillance and privacy concerns do not significantly affect the attitude towards implantable technologies adoption. The behavioral intention is statistically significantly predicted by attitude towards implantable technologies.
